april 3rd - andy's 21st! finally finally my dearest has reached adulthood. HAHA! lao le lao le. his birthday meant we're getting closer to japan as well. isnt april GREAT! =)) i brought him his present, and yay he liked it! im not gg to say what it was though. paiseh lah. and then we went to indulgz at tan quee lan for dinner. im so glad i chose the place, because we had a superb dinner, and on a tertiary students' promotion thingie as well, so it was really value for money.
loved the atmosphere when we first went stepped through the door, dimly lit, with flowers and candles and comfortable booths. whoopee! all the pictures were enhanced - we couldnt really take pictures without the flash as it was too dark, and we felt the flash was a bit distracting to other diners.
dy with his drink. he's probably happy because he ordered his favourite dish - chicken chicken chicken. cooked any way.
the soup course - it was tomato and basil, and rich enough to be appetising, but not too overpowering. even andy the non-tomato person liked it. yumm.
there, his chicken. if i remember correctly the full name of the dish was honey garlic chicken something, served with carrots and zucchinis and mash. it was really good, as in reallly. we were pleasantly surprised at the first taste. juicy, with the honey's sweetness cutting through, yet not losing the deliciousness of the chicken leg (that was deboned, by the way). five stars with additional mini stars. it was that good.
and my miso chicken mushroom linguine. miso is an interesting taste to get used to, but the pasta was great, it was the most pasta i have ever seen in any dish, by the way. i dunno why my secret garden served their pasta in such small portions - tsk tsk. not worth it. this was generous with their portion, and it was not too bad.
we finished everything! woohoo!
for dessert we had their specialty - the earl grey panna cotta. and i can safely say we weren't disappointed. both of us loooovee earl grey, and so the panna cotta infused with earl grey was just the thing, wow. i love love it. i would go back just to have that.
and it made me finish every single spoon! yummy yummy! i will go back for it u know. sompat.
well, when i first read about the place on xiaxue's blog (okay, i sometimes do read it, for laughs) i was already kind of intrigued by the food they served. and i think i left feeling completely satisfied. and i love being a student. wahaha. i used to go to tan quee lan for dessert with chef calvin and billy, that was before it was refurbished and everything. now walking down that street you could smell lavender in the air coming from the spas, and see the dhl balloon rising in the air. =)
happy birthday dy.
velda.
ps now im sickk! =( hope i freakin get well before japannn. oh pleaseee. too much chocolate i think.
